He was gone the second he formed that veteran counsel with Long and Bush. Those three stood up to Philbin after he cut Chad Johnson. I said back then that these guys would no longer be around. The cap hit only made cutting him easier for Philbin. Make no mistake about it. Philbin is sending a message that this is his team. This isn't your players coach Tony Sparano team anymore. Philbin is sending all of the Sparano era guys packing and bringing in his boys, or those who have bought in.

I don't know much about Ellerbe to say the move was an upgrade or not? It is a move to get younger if nothing else....

if it's an upgrade at all, it's not major. Dansby and Burnett were good players.

I think in this case it's a timing thing.. sitting on a player for a few days you hope you can trade does not help you in what your going after right now... ya we may have lost a 7th round pick for him but we freed up that cap space NOW.. Irland is focused and on fire right now.. whatever it takes to keep him rolling .. lol
